本研究证明基于奇偶性Nisan-Wigderson压缩类的经认证击中集存在公理无条件独立于$\text{AC}^0$推理理论$V^0_1$，通过有界算术转换归约机制实现，是该层面首个去随机化类存在原理的独立性结果，打通了两类研究路线的关联。

我们证明，将Atserias与Tzameret提出的击中集存在公理的经认证形式化，实例化于Khaniki提出的基于奇偶性的Nisan-Wigderson压缩类上时，它无条件地独立于用于$\text{AC}^0$推理的二阶理论$V^0_1$：即$V^0_1$既无法证明该命题，也无法证明其否定。对应的经认证对偶弱鸽巢原理也满足这一独立性，该原理的反驳可由单个种子见证，该种子能通过认证计算同时生成模型的所有字符串。其核心机制是对Atserias-Tzameret从击中集到对偶弱鸽巢原理的归约进行有界算术转换：该归约中作为NP神谕唯一来源的放大部分，在Nisan-Wigderson映射的固有拉伸下无需存在；而一旦将电路求值替换为其经认证的$\text{Σ}^B_0$展开形式，压缩部分就成为$V^0_1$可证的蕴含式。据我们所知，这是首个在$\text{AC}^0$推理层面针对去随机化风格存在性原理的独立性结果，明确搭建了Khaniki的Nisan-Wigderson研究路线与Atserias-Tzameret击中集反推数学之间的桥梁。
英文摘要
We show that a certified formalization of the hitting-set-existence axiom of Atserias and Tzameret, instantiated on the parity-based Nisan-Wigderson compression class of Khaniki, is independent of the two-sorted theory $V^0_1$ of $\mathrm{AC}^0$-reasoning, unconditionally: $V^0_1$ proves neither it nor its negation. The same holds for the corresponding certified dual weak pigeonhole principle, whose refutation is witnessed by a single seed that certified-computes every string of the model simultaneously. The mechanism is a bounded-arithmetic transfer of Atserias-Tzameret's reduction from hitting sets to the dual weak pigeonhole principle: the amplification half of that reduction, the sole source of its NP-oracle, is unnecessary at the native stretch of the Nisan-Wigderson map, and the compression half becomes a $V^0_1$-provable implication once circuit evaluation is replaced by its certified $Σ^B_0$ unfolding. This is, to our knowledge, the first independence result for a derandomization-flavoured existence principle at the $\mathrm{AC}^0$-reasoning level, and it makes explicit the bridge between the Khaniki Nisan-Wigderson line and the Atserias-Tzameret reverse mathematics of hitting sets.
